The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 33 Do You Like The New School



Chapter 33 Do You Like The New School

It was a rush hour that evening, and there was a majority of people waiting at the entrance of Gu Group. At this time, Baron precisely parked his silver Rolls Royce Phantom in front of the company, drawing a lot of immediate attention. Everyone stood there in awe as they started guessing the identity of the car owner.

And with a casual sort of attitude, he rolled down the window and stared at the entrance of the company. Nonetheless, the pair of sunglasses he wore today suited him well as it didn't escape the eyes of onlookers.

"Nicole, here."

Nicole snapped out of her musing when she suddenly heard the warm voice of Baron the moment she emerged at the company's door. Still carrying a pile of files she had just received, she gingerly made her way towards the flashy car and directly sat on the front passenger seat.

"What's wrong with you? Don't be excessively showy! Aren't you over-the-top? You are never a high- profile person,"

she couldn't help scolding him. She almost rolled her eyes as she noted that he looked like a gentle boy in the white shirt he currently wore. But it didn't go well with his boldness to flaunt such an eye- catching car in front of Gu Group.

That wasn't like something Baron would ever do.

"No, I'm fine. I just drove my car here. I was initially worried that you might not be able to see me right away! I'm just being nice,"

Baron explained, shrugging at her innocently. But he appeared in the Gu Group on purpose. He wanted more than ever to let more people know that he was a friend of Nicole.

From the start, he had always minded her son's existence as he buried his feelings for her deep in his heart. And now more than anything, he yearned to know what he was in Nicole's heart.

After hearing what he said, Nicole, who was busy leafing through her piles, merely cast him a glance and said nothing. Then she continued reading the documents she had pulled out in her hand.

Her mind was pre-occupied at the moment. She was helplessly thinking about what kind of rumor would circulate tomorrow when she reported back for work. Recalling the event earlier in the washroom, where Kerr blocked her, she felt goose bumps rising on her skin. And now, another luxury car came to pick her up after work. She groaned inwardly.

"Let's go to pick up Jay. I don't know whether he can get used to the new school he is going to on the first day,"

Nicole murmured, her head tilted low as she was still reading the documents in her hands.

She was also thinking at the same time if Jay couldn't get used to the new environment, then she would be happy if her son decided to go back to his former school. This way, she would be able to help him get rid of Kerr. Then her mind whined again. How come would she unconsciously think of Kerr's eyes, which were intense and mesmerizing? Wasn't this too much?

"Why do you want to change a school for Jay all of a sudden? Isn't the school I arranged for him suitable?"

Baron gently asked as he looked straight ahead and directly headed to the address provided by Nicole. The school was almost situated near to the Gu Group, but it was a little far from Nicole's apartment. So he couldn't help reflecting that it was not quite convenient for Nicole to go to work every day from her place.

"Yes, I think it's suitable. But Jay doesn't like it there, so I changed it for him. He is too mature and smart at his age."

She heaved a sigh. It was because of Jay's acute and sharp intellect that caught Kerr's attention. Sometimes, she really hoped that Jay could be like an ordinary child. Someone who would act like his age. But unfortunately, he was not. So she didn't know whether to feel blessed or cursed at the thought of it.

"Are you sure this is Jay's new school?"

Baron asked after some time, in utter disbelief. When he stopped his car, he was stunned at the sight of the school in front of him. It was the school of the Gu family. He knew it since childhood. And just because of his identity, he was not qualified to enter.

Because everyone graduated from this school would be employed by the Gu Group.

"Yeah, it was arranged by Kerr. And Jay read some documents about the school. He likes it very much,"

she added as she rolled down the window. She felt something amiss, looking at the empty school gate. Glancing at her wrist, it was time for students to leave school, but there was no one at the school gate. So she just felt a little strange.

Moments later, Jay came out with his backpack.

"Mom."

Jay trotted to the car with burgeoning excitement on his little face. But soon, his face fell and immediately hid his disappointment. He was about to call Uncle Gu, but he saw Baron getting out of the car, so he politely greeted him instead.

"Nice to see you, Uncle Fang."

"Get in, my dear,"

Baron prompted while opening the door for him. He then returned to the driver's seat and soon started the engine after seeing the child, comfortably settled at the back.

Currently, no one noticed the black Porsche parked behind them.

"Do we still follow that car, Mr. Gu?"

Jared ignorantly asked through the rearview mirror, however, what he saw was a darkened face of Kerr. He immediately started the car to tail behind the vehicle leaving as a sharp light flashed through Kerr's eyes. It sent a shiver down his spine.

Inside the silver Rolls Royce Phantom, Nicole broke the silence.

"Jay, do you really like this school? Why did you come out alone after school?" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole turned around, meeting his son's gaze before asking him in a concerned tone.

"I like it. It's much better than the former school. All the students, except me, live in the school, so they go back to their dormitory after class."

Jay thoroughly explained with such curiosity in his eyes though he had never experienced this collective life. Despite him being the youngest child in his class, he was not inferior to others. He quickly adapted to the new environment.

Then he mentally added, 'This place is indeed much more interesting than my former school.'

"Well, I'm glad you like it,"

Nicole said after a moment of reflection, smiling at him. On the contrary, she had been counting on how his son would adapt to his new school. If he said otherwise, then she could naturally send him back to the first school. Now, it seemed that both her hope and plan simultaneously went into a nosedive.

"Nicole, all the students, from that school are to be used, by the Gu Group. That is the rule. How can you let your son enter this school?"

Baron couldn't help probing. Although the Fang family did not have equal footing with the Gu family, both had an encounter in the business world. And as the only heir of the Fang family, he was naturally not allowed to enter the Gu Group. So he did not enter this particular school.

After hearing what Baron said, Nicole sighed gloomily, and her tone sounded helpless.

"I understand what you're saying. However, Mr. Gu assured that he would give Jay a chance to choose his own life. So this rule won't be imposed on him."

It was rather explicit that Kerr had eliminated all the reasons for her refusal. Even if she wanted Jay to stay away from him, she had to consider and take care of his feelings. That was what mattered most to her as his mother.

Witnessing the way the two interacted with each other, she could see that Jay liked Kerr very much. Maybe, it was because they were blood-related, so cultivating the relationship between them as father and son was an easy feat since it came naturally.

Thinking about it further, she should be sure that Kerr was not a good husband. But at any rate, she had no idea whether he was a good father.

For a while, Baron fell silent as he was in deep contemplation himself. He was mulling over the kind of person Kerr was, and his real intentions for doing this. As far as he knew about him, Kerr was not a

nosy person. Being a businessman in every sense of the word would make him do nothing but for profit.

Jay was leisurely sitting in the back seat. With a phone in his small hands, which was given to him by Kerr that morning, he quietly edited a message. After he was satisfied, he sent it to Kerr right away.

Kerr's train of thought was distracted when he heard the sound of a text message. He casually fished out his phone and flipped it open. A dash of warmth flashed through his eyes when he saw the screen.

"I like the new school very much. Thank you, Uncle Gu. But I felt a little sorry that I didn't see you after school."

With a satisfied smile, curling at the corner of his lips, Kerr tapped on the screen and instantly sent a message.

And Jay, on the other side, firmly held his cell phone with both hands, excitedly waiting for Kerr's reply.
